Using Gustar
The verb gustar means to be pleasing. In English we tend to translate it as
____________________________. In order to understand how to use gustar, you must
divide your sentence into 2 parts.
Part 1 is____________ likes the item or activity being discussed. This is expressed
using a special set of pronouns called indirect object pronouns.
Singular
me

Plural
nos

te
le

les

*****When using le or les, you must use A+ the persons name to indicate who you are
talking about. *******
Ex. A Holly le gusta ______. A Maria le gusta ____. A Mara y Holly les gusta _____
With me, you can use A mi, with te, A ti, and with nos, A nosotros but these are
optional.
A mi me gusta _____. A ti te gusta _____. A nosotros nos gusta _____.
Part 2 of the sentence is gusta/ gustan + the item or activity being discussed.
This has nothing to do with part 1. If the item is singular, use gusta. If the item is plural,
use gustan. These are the only forms you use.
Gusta or Gustan?
Indicate whether you would use gusta or gustan for the following nouns:
1. las hojas de papel

_________________________

2. el viernes

_________________________

3. los lapices

_________________________

4. la carpeta

_________________________
